SANTA FE (KRQE) - A night of comedy took a not so funny turn Monday night in Santa Fe when someone in the audience threw a banana peel at comedian Dave Chappelle. It was a gesture the famous comedian is calling racist.

Chappelle was performing to a sold-out audience at the Lensic Performing Arts Center when 30-year old Christian Englander launched the discarded fruit at the comedian, hitting him in the leg.

According to the police report, Englander attended the show with a friend and admitted to police to stopping at an Allsup’s convenience store to buy a shot of 99 bananas liquor and an actual banana. He admitted that he consumed both before the show. Englander also told police he kept the peel in his back pocket.

Sometime during Monday night’s show, Englander says his friend who was drawing in a book was racially singled out by the comedian. Chappelle asked the friend about the drawing and wanted to know his name. The police report states that the friend said his name was “Johnny Appleseed.” Chapelle continued his skit, making jokes about the name.

Santa Fe police said Englander did not appreciate Chappelle’s jokes and responded by throwing the peel at Chappelle.

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Albuquerque fire crews are responding to a quarter-acre fire in the Bosque near Tingley Beach.

The fire started around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday on the east side of the Bosque. Officials say the fire is 200 to 300 yards in and firefighters are in the process of pumping water from the Bosque to extinguish it.

AFD says the fire is under control and there were no reported injuries. No roads have been closed near Tingley Beach and the Tingley Beach recreation area remains fully open.

SANTA FE (KRQE) – An accounting firm says the City of Santa Fe mismanaged millions of dollars. The total comes to more than $30 million. In 2008, city voters agreed to improve parks and trails through a bond issue. Oscar Rodriguez, Santa Fe’s finance director, told the Santa Fe New Mexican that the city didn’t design projects and bid them to private contractors. Instead, they assigned city employees to do the work. Rodriguez says the city wanted to avoid layoffs because of the economic crash.

Bills protecting New Mexico families signed into law

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) – Three bills that’ll help protect New Mexico families are now law. Governor Susana Martinez signed the bills Tuesday at an Albuquerque child and family resource center. One of the new bills she signed into law forces all cell phone companies to send Amber Alerts to customers for kidnapped children. The second law cracks down on child prostitution, and the third one grants victims of violent crimes additional compensation.

Funding approved for Gila Wilderness catwalk

GILA NATIONAL FOREST, N.M. (KRQE) – Work on a famous trail damaged by floods, is moving forward. The catwalk national recreation trail in the Gila Wilderness just got approved for federal funding.

A district ranger said they are now working on a design so contractors can bid on the project. The contract is expected to be awarded in June, with work starting late summer or early fall. Their goal is to have the catwalk back open by next year.

The White House said Obama notified Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi in a phone call Tuesday that the U.S. would be sending 12 F-16 fighter jets, 20 missiles and up to 125 tank kits, while continuing to request $1.3 billion in military assistance for Egypt. The White House said Egypt will remain the second-largest recipient of U.S. foreign military financing worldwide.

The funds were suspended 21 months ago when el-Sissi, then military chief, overthrew Egypt’s first democratically elected leader, Islamist President Mohammed Morsi. But Washington could not provide almost half of the annual aid package — along with assistance held up from previous years — until it certified advances by el-Sissi’s government on democracy, human rights and rule of law or issued a declaration that such aid is in the interests of U.S. national security.

The U.S. has been providing hundreds of millions in counterterrorism assistance to its ally, which didn’t stall as a result of the government overthrow. Egypt has been arguing it needs the money to face growing threats from extremists creeping over the border from lawless Libya or operating in the Sinai Peninsula, and the U.S. sees the funds as critical for stability in the volatile Middle East.

The aid comes as Egypt is trying to play a leading role in forming an Arab military alliance that can fight terrorism in the region. And it comes at a time when Arab nations have expressed concern about Washington’s negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program, questioning whether the U.S. is aligning itself with Tehran instead of its long-standing allies in the region, like Egypt.

White House spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan said the assistance will help address the growth of a group in Egypt, affiliated with Islamic State militants, that has attacked Egyptian soldiers and civilians.

The White House said it is not issuing a certification that Egypt has made progress toward democracy. Instead, the U.S. said it is maintaining that the aid is in the interest of U.S. national security.

The White House said Obama, during his call to el-Sissi, “explained that these and other steps will help refine our military assistance relationship so that it is better positioned to address the shared challenges to U.S. and Egyptian interests in an unstable region, consistent with the longstanding strategic partnership between our two countries.” The White House said Obama also reiterated U.S. concerns about Egypt’s continued imprisonment of activists and encouraged increased respect for freedom of speech and assembly.

“We will continue to engage with Egypt frankly and directly on its political trajectory and to raise human rights and political reform issues at the highest levels,” Meehan said.

The Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority announced Tuesday that customers used about 250 million gallons less since January than the same period last year.

The chair of the water authority’s board, Trudy Jones, says customers stand to have another great year in terms of conservation. She says the goal is the same as last year – per capita use of 135 gallons per day.

The water authority also announced restrictions to limit outdoor watering during certain hours and days. Those restrictions take effect Wednesday and will last through Nov. 1.

Officials say violations can result in fines starting at $20 for a first offense.

New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez told The Associated Press on Tuesday that she had no opinion on Cruz’s recent announcement at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, that he would seek the Republican presidential nomination.

Martinez, who is Mexican American, says she doesn’t personally know Cruz, who is Cuban American. She also says she doesn’t “follow him.”

The Republican governor’s comments come after she has worked to recruit Latino and other minority candidates to the GOP. She also is a rising star within the Republican Party.

Martinez said she expects a crowded field of Republican presidential candidates and hasn’t said who she might support.

The water utility that serves Albuquerque and parts of Bernalillo County and an environmental group say Public Service Co. of New Mexico’s application for a rate increase is incomplete and should be rejected by state regulators.

In filings this month with the Public Regulation Commission, the groups say PNM fails to offer any explanation for some of the expenses the utility is expecting in future years.

The groups want the commission to force PNM to refile its application.

PNM is asking regulators to approve a 12 percent rate increase to help cover the costs of new solar-power generating stations, federally mandated pollution controls at the coal-fired San Juan Generating Station and other infrastructure.

Lufthansa, meanwhile, said its insurers had set aside $300 million to deal with possible costs from the March 24 crash.

The announcement Tuesday by the French aviation agency BEA signaled the latest re-think about airline procedures in the wake of the Germanwings crash, which jolted an aviation industry already reeling after one passenger plane disappeared into an ocean and another was shot out of the sky over war-torn eastern Ukraine.

Authorities say Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, who in the past had been treated for suicidal tendencies, locked his captain out of the cockpit before deliberately crashing the Airbus 320 into a mountain in the French Alps. All 150 people aboard Flight 9525 from Barcelona to Duesseldorf were killed that day.

The goal of the BEA investigation is to make recommendations to aviation authorities, not just in France but anywhere, about what can be done to prevent similar crashes. French prosecutors are carrying out a separate crash probe to pinpoint possible criminal wrongdoing.

Last week’s Germanwings crash has already produced some changes in aviation procedures. Europe’s aviation regulator now says all airlines in Europe should require two people in the cockpit at all times during a flight. Many airlines have already imposed the new rule, which has been in place in the U.S. since the Sept. 11 attacks.

The International Civil Aviation Organization, which brings together 191 nations, said state agencies like the BEA must officially determine the causes and contributing factors of accidents and give recommendations on ways to avoid recurrences. ICAO could then bring such recommendations to its member states — possibly leading to changes in international aviation standards.

BEA said it aims to provide a “detailed analysis” of the Germanwings cockpit voice recorder and any other flight data — but it also plans to widen its search, to examine issues that could be problematic for all airlines.

“(We will study) systemic weaknesses (that) might possibly have led to this aviation disaster,” BEA said in its first statement since prosecutors detailed the co-pilot’s suspected role in the crash.

The agency is studying both psychological screening procedures and rules applied to entering and leaving the cockpit, as well as cockpit door locking systems.

German prosecutors say Lubitz, 27, received psychotherapy before obtaining his pilot’s license and that medical records from that time referred to “suicidal tendencies.” They have given no dates for his treatment, but said visits to doctors since then showed no record of any suicidal tendencies or aggression against others.

They also have found torn-up sick notes from doctors, including one that would have kept Lubitz off work on the day of the crash.

Lufthansa has declined to say whether it knew anything about Lubitz’s health problems. But it says the young pilot had passed all required medical checks since starting work for its subsidiary in September 2013.

At the crash site in the French Alps, investigators said they hope to have found DNA samples for everyone killed on the flight in the next 24 hours. Lt. Col. Jean-Marc Menichini, speaking in the town of Le Vernet, said the search was still on for the plane’s second black box — its data recorder.

“By the end of the week at the latest, it will be possible to identify all the victims thanks to the DNA samples taken,” French President Francois Hollande told reporters during a trip to Germany.

Hollande said German and French ministers also discussed the need to improve checks of air passengers within Europe’s visa-free Schengen travel zone and to “ensure that we can also strengthen our safety rules for piloting planes.”

Construction workers have cut a road up to the steep, mountainous crash site to speed up recovery efforts. Previously, emergency workers had to rely on helicopters. German investigators tasked with identifying the victims and determining their cause of death are expected Wednesday at the crash site.

In Frankfurt, Lufthansa spokeswoman Kerstin Lau said insurers have reserved $300 million to deal with “all costs arising in connection with the case.”

Lufthansa — Germanwings’ parent company — offered immediate aid last week of up to 50,000 euros ($54,250) per passenger to relatives of the victims. Those payments are separate from eventual compensation payments.

Airlines on international flights are required to compensate relatives of victims for proven damages of up to a limit of about $157,000 — regardless of what caused the crash. However, higher compensation is possible if a carrier is held liable.

Also Tuesday, Lufthansa canceled plans to celebrate its 60th anniversary on April 15 “out of respect for the victims of the crash.”

(AP) - The head of Albuquerque’s municipal animal shelter is defending it against a complaint saying that dangerous dogs are being returned to families or released for adoption.

TheAlbuquerque Journal reports that the city Animal Welfare Department’s No. 2 official and the department’s former behavior specialist filed a complaint with the city’s inspector general.

The complaint accuses the department of last year returning or releasing more than 100 dogs that have killed or maimed other pets, attacked people or displayed other signs of aggression.

Director Barbara Bruin reacted to the complaint by saying that public safety is her department’s top concern and that several dogs are euthanized daily because of behavior issues.

(AP) - New Mexico State University and U.S. Postal Service officials say the on-campus post office may close, with retail services being shifted to another facility 1.6 miles away.

The Las Cruces Sun-News (http://goo.gl/2LYCj3 ) says the Postal Service is considering whether to move retail services now provided in the campus post office in Corbett Center to an existing Idaho Avenue post office.

The Idaho Avenue post office now houses mailboxes but offers no retail services.

The Postal Service says a final decision hasn’t been made yet.

According to the Sun-News, retail postal functions would continue at the on-campus post office until the Idaho Avenue facility is renovated and providing expanded services.

Lawyers for Tye Trujillo filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Albuquerque last month and say the June 2013 arrest violated the 32-year-old’s free speech rights.

According to lawsuit, Trujillo was having lunch with three men near a table of three officers. Court documents say when the officers heard the men repeatedly use an expletive, an officer went over to the table and warned them not to use it again.

The lawsuit says when officer’s allegedly heard Trujillo utter the word again they arrested him for disorderly conduct.

He was later acquitted.

A lawyer for the officers say police did nothing wrong and want the case dismissed.

It looks like the extra money for highways and APS security will not get a second look this year. It seems Governor Susana Martinez has no plans to bring lawmakers back to the Roundhouse for a special session. Lawmakers couldn’t agree on funding 270 million dollars in projects before the legislative session ended earlier this month. Now, hundreds of projects won’t get funded, including improvements to state universities.

http://krqe.com/2015/03/31/clinton-also-used-ipad-for-email-mixed-personal-work-chats/#commentsTue, 31 Mar 2015 12:13:49 +0000http://krqe.com/?p=116403]]>WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton emailed her staff on an iPad as well as a BlackBerry while secretary of state, despite her explanation she exclusively used a personal email address on a homebrew server so that she could carry a single device, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

The State Department released a total of four emails between Clinton and her top advisers as part of a Freedom of Information Act request filed in 2013 by the AP, which sought Clinton’s correspondence with senior advisers over a four-year period relating to drone strikes overseas and U.S. surveillance programs.

While limited, the emails offer one of the first looks into Clinton’s correspondence while secretary of state. The messages came from and were sent to her private email address, hosted on a server at her property in Chappaqua, New York, as opposed to a government-run email account.

They show that Clinton, on at least one occasion, accidentally mingled personal and work matters. In reply to a message sent in September 2011 by adviser Huma Abedin to Clinton’s personal email account, which contained an AP story about a drone strike in Pakistan, Clinton mistakenly replied with questions that appear to be about decorations.

“I like the idea of these,” she wrote to Abedin. “How high are they? What would the bench be made of? And I’d prefer two shelves or attractive boxes/baskets/ conmtainers (sic) on one. What do you think?”

The other emails between Clinton and her advisers provided by the State Department contained a summary of a 2011 meeting between Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and senior Egyptian officials in Cairo. It was uncensored and did not appear to contain sensitive information. That email was forwarded to Clinton’s private account from Abedin’s government email address.

In another note, Clinton expressed apparent dismay at leaks of classified U.S. government information to the media. Referencing a CNN story, which described “loose lips” in the Obama administration, she asked two officials if she should comment on the matter as had Leon Panetta, the former Central Intelligence Agency director.

“I think this is both dishonorable and dangerous and want to find way to say it,” she wrote.

Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill said early Tuesday that the secretary used her iPad from time to time, primarily to read news clippings.

At the United Nations earlier this month, Clinton said she chose a personal account over a government one out of convenience, describing it as a way to carry a single device, rather than one for work emails and another for personal messages.

“Looking back, it would have been probably, you know, smarter to have used two devices,” Clinton said. Her office that day released a statement saying she “wanted the simplicity of using one device.”

Clinton became secretary of state in 2009, a year before Apple Inc. released the iPad. Clinton at that time could have potentially split her accounts, reverting to an official State.gov email account and BlackBerry for work and leaving her personal email on her iPad.

Clinton has said she exchanged about 60,000 emails in her four years in the Obama administration, about half of which were work-related. She said none contained classified information, and that her private email system did not suffer any security breaches.

The highly unusual practice of a Cabinet-level official physically running her own email server gave Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination should she run as expected, complete control over access to her message archives.

Clinton said she deleted emails — some 30,000 in total — that she described as personal in nature, such as yoga routines, plans for her mother’s funeral or her daughter’s wedding. It’s not clear how Clinton handled emails that mixed personal and official business, such as the exchange with Abedin.

Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., the chairman of a House committee investigating the 2012 Benghazi attacks, said Clinton wiped her email server “clean,” permanently deleting all emails from it and has declined to relinquish her server to a third party for an independent review.

Clinton’s attorney said she had turned over to the State Department all work-related emails sent or received during her tenure and it would make no sense to turn over her server, since “no emails … reside on the server or on any backup systems associated with the server.”

The emails obtained by AP stem from several public-records requests filed with the State Department, starting in 2010. Most were unfulfilled until this week, when the State Department said it could find only four messages that met the search terms of one such request.

Earlier this month, AP sued the department to force the release of email correspondence and government documents from Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state, including those provided by the department this week.

The FOIA requests and federal lawsuit sought materials related to Clinton’s public and private calendars; correspondence involving aides likely to play important roles in her expected campaign for president; and Clinton-related emails about the Osama bin Laden raid and controversial U.S. surveillance practices.
